How It Works
THE CHALLENGE

Detection built for compliance, not exposure

Organizations that host, transmit, or store user-generated content carry a legal and moral obligation to identify and report CSAM. But handling this material is tightly regulated, even for moderation purposes, and manual review carries serious legal and human risk.

DCube designs and operates content-safety programs around one principle: maximize automated detection, minimize human contact, and route every confirmed match to the proper authorities. We build the governance, orchestration, and audit layer around industry-certified detection technology, so your team never becomes the point of exposure.

What DCube Delivers

  • Automated hash-matching against known-CSAM databases
  • Sealed evidentiary preservation & chain of custody
  • Mandatory reporting workflows to NCMEC & national hotlines
  • Law-enforcement handoff protocols
  • Reviewer wellness & exposure-limiting safeguards
  • Immutable audit logging & least-privilege access
Core Capabilities

A complete content-safety architecture

Every component is engineered to keep confirmed material sealed and staff out of harm’s way while meeting statutory reporting obligations.

Automated Detection

Integration with certified hash-matching technologies (PhotoDNA, CSAI Match, Safer) and classifiers that flag known and suspected material without human review.

Containment & Preservation

Positive matches are quarantined in a sealed, access-controlled state with cryptographic hashing, timestamps, and metadata preserved to evidentiary standards.

Statutory Reporting

Automated report generation to NCMEC's CyberTipline (or the relevant national hotline via INHOPE) with defined SLAs and documented escalation paths.

Governance & Audit

Immutable audit trails, separation of duties, periodic legal review, and role-based access control aligned to your regulatory environment.

Analyst Safeguards

Where limited human confirmation is unavoidable, exposure-limiting tooling, rotation, and mandatory wellness support protect certified personnel.

Legal Coordination

Program design in partnership with specialist counsel and law-enforcement liaisons to establish lawful basis before any technical work begins.

Our Methodology

The detect–contain–report workflow

A standard operating procedure that treats legal foundation and human safety as first-class requirements.
icon01

Legal & Jurisdictional Foundation

Before any technical work, counsel establishes lawful basis, reporting obligations, data-residency constraints, and the legally responsible reporting entity.

icon02

Automated Detection Layer

Content is matched against known-CSAM hash databases and screened by classifiers. Unknown or ambiguous items are flagged for controlled escalation — never opened casually by staff.

icon03

Containment & Evidentiary Preservation

Confirmed matches are sealed, hashed, and preserved per chain-of-custody requirements, with all access logged and restricted to authorized personnel.

icon04

Reporting & Law-Enforcement Handoff

Reports are generated to NCMEC or the relevant national authority within defined SLAs, with structured handoff to law enforcement.

icon05

Governance, Audit & Continuous Review

Immutable logs, least-privilege access, analyst wellness monitoring, and periodic legal and operational review keep the program compliant and defensible.

Standards & Frameworks

Aligned to global reporting obligations

Our programs are designed around the statutory and industry frameworks that govern content safety, in coordination with your legal counsel.

Who We Serve

Built for the platforms that carry the obligation

Online Platforms

Social, messaging, and UGC services meeting mandatory reporting duties.

Cloud & Hosting

Infrastructure providers managing stored-content risk at scale.

Insurance

Carriers assessing and underwriting content-safety and cyber exposure.

Legal & Compliance

Counsel and regulated enterprises needing defensible programs.

Important: DCube’s role is limited to detection, containment, statutory reporting, and program governance around certified technology. We do not host, distribute, or conduct investigative review of confirmed material. Every engagement is scoped in coordination with specialist legal counsel and, where required, law enforcement.
